It ended in the 9th when Garcia stepped in with a lazy left that he let linger. Garcia fired that right, over the top, and it literally laid Rios’ head 90 degrees to the side before he toppled to the canvas.

Rios was up in time, but he still had birdies flying in tight circles over his head.

When the ref asked him to step forward, he tripped and the ref called a halt to the contest.

Good call ref.

Danny Garcia is definitely back; and improves his campaign to 34 wins against one loss, with 20 victories coming by way of knockout.

Bash Boxing and Lights Out Promotions put together a fine card of young boxers for “Valley Fight Night” at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City on February 16.

It was nonstop action in the ring, and by the end of the evening the fans had been treated to four technical knockout (TKO) victories, and two wins by knockout (KO).

You’ll have another chance to view the sweet science here, in your own backyard on Friday, April 20 when Valley Fight Night comes to the Burbank Marriot Events Center.
